This invention relates to compositions, and methods for producing compositions, for increasing oil repellency, water repellency, or both, of fabric or fibers, containing: (a) an effective amount of a repellent polymer selected from the group consisting of homopolymers and copolymers of one or more monomers having formula I: <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>R<SUB>f</SUB>-(CH<SUB>2</SUB>)<SUB>n</SUB>-P (I)<?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?> wherein P is a polymerizable or copolymerizable moiety; and (b) a fluorinated carbon solvent. |
